谢彬、杨建民编著的《深水半潜式钻井平台关键技术(船舶与海洋出版工程英文版)(精)》收录论文近百篇，集中反映了课题在深水半潜式钻井平台设计与建造技术研究方面所获得的成果，对于从事海洋工程技术研究的科研和技术人员有很高的参考价值。 目前我国已经建成“海洋石油981”钻井平台和“海洋石油201”深水铺管起重船等顶级深海装备，随着大型深水勘探和开发装备的陆续投入使用，使中国在深海油气开采装备上取得了跨越式发展。南海深水油气田的开发将极大的推动了我国海洋工程技术的科技进步，希望该论文集的出版能使广大的海洋工程研究和技术人员从中获益。

谢彬、杨建民编著的《深水半潜式钻井平台关键技术(船舶与海洋出版工程英文版)(精)》 is based on the project’Research on the Key Technology of 3 000 m Deepwater Semi-submersible Drilling Platform’aiming at solving the key issues of design and construction techniques．Itcontains 5 parts，including environment of South China Sea，hydrodynamic performance of semi-platform，structure analysis of semi-platform，vortex induced vibration，and expand research．

This book reflects abundant research results of design and construction techniques of deepwater semi-submersible drilling platforms．

《深水半潜式钻井平台关键技术(船舶与海洋出版工程英文版)(精)》 will provide a very good reference for researchers and engineers in the field of offshoretechnology．
